Iran Building a Missile Base In South America....

...which, when completed, will make it much more difficultfor America to attack/defend itself from a nation that has been declaring "Death To America" for over 30 years:

Iran is planning to place medium-range missiles on Venezuelan soil, based on western information sources[1], according to an article in the German daily, Die Welt, of November 25, 2010. According to the article, an agreement between the two countries was signed during the last visit o Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez to Tehran on October19, 2010. The previously undisclosed contract provides for the establishment of a jointly operated military base in Venezuela, and the joint development of ground-to-ground missiles...

According to Die Welt, Venezuela has agreed to allow Iran to establish a military base manned by Iranian missile officers, soldiers of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard and Venezuelan missile officers. In addition, Iran has given permission for the missiles to be used in case of an "emergency". In return, the agreement states that Venezuela can use these facilities for "national needs" – radically increasing the threat to neighbors like Colombia. The German daily claims that according to the agreement, Iranian Shahab 3 (range 1300-1500 km), Scud-B (285-330 km) and Scud-C (300, 500 and 700 km) will be deployed in the proposed base. It says that Iran also pledged to help Venezuela in rocket technology expertise, including intensive training of officers

Venezuela has also become the country through which Iran intends to bypass UN sanctions. Following a new round of UN sanctions against the Islamic Republic, for example, Russia decided not to sell five battalions of S-300PMU-1 air defence systems to Iran. These weapons, along with a number of other weapons, were part of a deal, signed in 2007, worth $800 million. Now that these weapons cannot be delivered to Iran, Russia is looking for new customers; according to the Russian press agency Novosti[2], it found one: Venezuela. Easy enough for even the most simple-minded liberal to understand: Iran can now defend itself by threatening to open up a three front war immediately with the United States - attacking our troops in Afghanistan and Iraq, while threatening American cities with long-range (nuclear?) missiles. All materials supplied by our Russian friends, to whom "reset" had a completely different meaning than it did to Obama/Hillary. This is designed, of course, to make it impossible to attack Iranian nuclear sites without risking a counter-attack on American soil. Allowing, of course, the Iranians to "wipe Israel off the map", as they have promised to do for decades, with little fear of retribution. And then turn their eyes towards "The Great Satan"...How is Obama responding to this well-thought out Iranian plan for regional dominance and global political influence? By pushing Congress to kowtow to Russia via a new START treaty that hampers American security while empowering theirs, by continuing to blame Israel for the problems in the Middle East "peace process", and by continuing to beg the Iranians to please, please, please talk to us.All while pointing a finger at the Republican party and calling them hostage-taking terrorists.I would add another trillion dollars to the national deficit if I thought it could buy the president a clue...
